The motifs for my prints are mostly abstract. They are created from my inner feelings and are a sort of subconscious writing of things happening around me, my experiences in life. Through basic compositional elements such as dots and lines, I am able to express them in my work.

The dot represents an inner world, it is infinite, it is stable, and in art language everything starts with a dot... The dot represents my inner world... Peace and tranquility. I express myself and my feelings with a dot, lot of dots. It is my language. They create an abstract, intimate world. And everything happens in a circle: our life, nature, universe, everything.

There is no ending... Life is a never-ending process...

I also use colour, but not in a conventional way. Colour is here expressed in lines and dots, not in planes or surfaces. It is interesting to see the same form in different colours, in different shades, and mixing different plates in one print. When using darker shades, you first see the shapes of the printed forms and then their actual colour. Whereas, using lighter shades, the first thing you see is the colour.

Most of my abstract works are untitled, thus allowing the viewer to experience the work in his/ her own way, without any presumptions.

My works aim to show the infinity of our lives, our never-ending story, a story about light...
